There were a number of American volunteers in the Rhodesian Bush War who fought with the Rhodesian Security Forces. These men were nick-named the Crippled Eagles by author Robin Moore, who offered a house in Salisbury as a meeting place for the Americans who served in all units of the security forces, but never had their own unit. The name "Crippled Eagle" and their badge was meant to symbolise what they considered their abandonment by the US government. Robin Moore and Barbara Fuca tried to publish a book with the same title, but because of the political controversy the book was refused by publishers and appeared only in 1991, when it was published as The White Tribe.

Le nom et l'emblème proviennent de l'auteur Robin Moore, qui offrit une maison à Salisbury comme lieu de rencontre pour les Américains qui servaient dans les différentes unités des forces de sécurité, mais qui n'avaient pas leur propre unité. Le nom "Crippled Eagle" (les "aigles blessés" ou les "aigles estropiés") et leur badge étaient censés symboliser ce qu'ils considéraient comme leur abandon par le gouvernement américain.
